Japanese Epiphone acoustic

I've got an Epiphone acoustic purchased 2nd hand in about 1980 or '81. It's a sunburst top and it has a jumbo body. It says "Sheraton" on the label stuck to the inside back. Anyone know anyhting about this model?

I have a similar Guitar, can't find any info at Epiphone. Jap made, bought it new in 1974 My model number is FT-576BL on the sticker and it too says "Sheraton". Blonde finish. Great sounding guitar plays OK. Looks like a Gibson J 20 series. IF anyone has info, I would appreciate it.

:I also have an Epiphone FT-570SB Sheraton. My father inherited it from my great uncle in the late '70s or early 80's and he gave it to me before he passed away a few years ago. It has a blue Kalamazoo label inside. Interestingly, the first line for "Style" is blank, The second line (with the heading "Epiphone" has the "FT-570SB" typed in, the third line headed "Number" has "Sheraton" typed in. There is no trace of a serial number anywhere. The label also states "guaranty void if number is defaced"! My father claimed it was an old and valuable instrument. It is fairly well made; Good fit, finish, and sound. I'm having very little luck finding any information about this guitar as well.
